The Trails Society of British Columbia Information

The Trails Society of British Columbia is registered charity. We have a mandate to assemble and preserve the British Columbian section of The Trans Canada Trail, as well as well as dedicate ourselves for the expansion, sustainability, and preservation of greenway trails in B.C. Our mission statement is “Trails Society of BC dedicates itself for quality trail experiences for self-propelled recreation and active transportation for all ages and abilities on greenway trails in British Columbia.” The Greenways for All research focused on reconciliation and equity related issues and recommendations regarding trails and active transportation including working to assist in addressing the lack of representation in the trails and active transportation sectors. We are committed to taking action on reconciliation through the Indigenous Women and Youth Leadership in Access to the Land and Trails initiative that currently includes: - Tmixʷ Trails in the Okanagan, led by Indigenous Engagement Manager Sage Kruger, provides youth and families with land based educational tours helping to connect with their land and culture. - sməq̓ʷaʔ xeł, the Great Blue Heron Way, the vision of Tsawwassen First Nation Elder xwasteniya for a network of paths connecting First Nations and other communities near the Stó꞉lō (Fraser River) and Salish Sea. We invite you to be part of our grand vision for the Trans Canada Trail, our work on reconciliation and our quest for high quality greenway experiences for non-motorized trail users.
